‘Zhao’ opening draws crowd to La Jolla Playhouse

The opening night party for “The Orphan of Zhao” July 11 at La Jolla Playhouse was attended by sponsors, board members and the press with rave reviews coming from all. Some critics have likened the epic tragedy to “the Chinese version of Hamlet.” It runs through Aug. 3 on the Mandel Weiss stage, UC San Diego campus. Visit ljplayhouse.org. Photos by Vincent Andrunas.
